Four of the 32 lineups will start the Major with the registered substitute in place of an invited player, and GOSH have put a 31-year-old who last played a Major with TYLOO in 2019 on their bench.
Four changes separate the rosters Valve invited from the ones that will play. PGL published the locked player lists for the PGL Major Singapore 2026 on Monday, five players, a coach and a substitute for each of the 32 teams, and closed with one line on who swaps in: “Legacy will play with ksloks instead of n1ssim, Team Vitality with apEX instead of jL, Astralis with Anlelele instead of jabbi, and FUT ESPORTS with SunPayus instead of cmtry.”
The 32 teams are the ones we reported after the 2 November cut-off. What is new is the paperwork around them: who is registered as the sixth man, and which of the invited names will watch from the bench.
| Team | In | Out |
|---|---|---|
 Legacy |  ksloks | n1ssim |
 Vitality |  apEX |  jL |
 Astralis |  Anlelele |  jabbi |
 FUT Esports |  SunPayus |  cmtry |
apEX plays, jL keeps the roster spot
Team Vitality’s entry is the odd one: the regular in-game leader is the substitute, and the stand-in is on the roster. Dan “apEX” Madesclaire missed PGL Masters Bucharest for the birth of his child, and Justinas “jL” Lekavičius stood in for him after covering for mezii at BLAST Open Porto in August and September.
Valve’s standings define a roster by the players who have appeared in five or more of a team’s last ten matches. Vitality’s quarter-final in Bucharest was jL’s fifth, which put him in apEX’s place on the invited roster, as we explained before the event. PGL’s list follows that roster to the letter: jL, ZywOo, flameZ, mezii and ropz as the five, XTQZZZ as coach, apEX as substitute. The substitutions line then confirms what Vitality’s own lineup already shows, with apEX back in the active five. Whether the registration also costs apEX a player sticker, as NarT suggested before Bucharest, is for Valve to settle.
The other three swaps are the ones the teams announced themselves. Legacy benched n1ssim on 28 October and brought in ksloks, a 21-year-old who has never played a Major. Astralis loaned Anlelele from Sashi on Friday, because cmtry, their October signing, is still on FUT’s roster in Valve’s standings and cannot play for them in Singapore. jabbi, who stood in for cmtry in three Stake Ranked Episode 5 matches, is registered as the sixth player.
FUT Esports are the mirror image. SunPayus arrived from G2 on 1 October, but FUT’s quarter-final exit in Bucharest left him on four matches, one short of the threshold, so cmtry’s name is on FUT’s invited roster while the player himself is under contract with Astralis. FUT play with SunPayus and list cmtry as their substitute.
BnTeT on GOSH’s bench
The name that stands out is in Stage 1. GOSH, the name BC.Game play under in Singapore, register s1mple, asap, Senzu, Magisk and mzinho as their five, TaZ as coach and Hansel “BnTeT” Ferdinand as substitute.
The 31-year-old Indonesian played his last Major with TYLOO at StarLadder Berlin 2019 and has since passed through Gen.G, EXTREMUM, a second TYLOO spell, NKT, where he and Senzu were teammates, and Alter Ego, with whom he played the Shanghai Asia RMR in November 2024. HLTV lists him without a team, with 23 maps in the past three months, all in ESL Challenger League Season 52 Asia-Pacific Cup 1. PGL’s list says nothing beyond the registration, and neither GOSH nor BnTeT have said whether he is expected to play.
GOSH are one of 18 teams that register a separate substitute. The other 14, among them FURIA, Aurora, NIP, Liquid and The MongolZ, list their coach in both roles.
Stage 1 starts on 24 November with GOSH among the 16 teams. Astralis and FUT come in at Stage 2 on 28 November, Vitality and Legacy at Stage 3 on 2 December.
